Getting Started  
Introduction  
The N4300 Evaluation Kit functions like a bar code scanner to allow feature  
configuration and performance evaluation. The N4300 Evaluation Kit communi-  
cates with Windows-based PC via a communication cable. The kit can be eas-  
ily configured using EZConfig-Scanning.  
The N4300 Evaluation Kit is only intended for evaluating the scan performance  
of the N4300 scan engine and facilitating the integration of the engine with OEM  
products. The kit is NOT to be integrated with any third party hardware or soft-  
ware for any purpose. User accepts the N4300 Evaluation Kit “AS IS” and with  
all faults. HONEYWELL MAKES NO WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,  
WITH RESPECT TO THE N4300 EVALUATION KIT, INCLUDING THE  
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABIITY AND FITNESS FOR A PAR-  
TICULAR PURPOSE.  
Unpacking Your Device  
Remove the N4300 Evaluation Kit from the package and place on a dry, level  
surface.  
Note: Pick up the kit by holding the edges of the plastic mounting plate. Do not  
touch the front of the kit.  
ESD Precautions  
The engine and evaluation kit is shipped in ESD safe packaging. Use care  
when handling the scan engine and the evaluation kit outside its packaging. Be  
sure grounding wrist straps and properly grounded work areas are used.  
Connecting the Development Engine to the PC  
The development OEM engine can connect to a PC for evaluation.  
Note: The development board and the kit components are not intended for  
integration and should ONLY be used for evaluation of the engine.  
1. Turn off power to the terminal/computer.

2. Connect the serial interface cable to the engine and to the matching  
port on the back of the computer.  
3. Connect the power supply connector to the serial interface cable.  
Plug in the power supply.  
4. Turn the terminal/computer power back on. The engine beeps. LED  
D4 will light on the PC board. When the kit has finished initializing the  
kit will beep once and LED D6 will flash once indicating the kit is ready  
to use.  
Note: All communication parameters between the engine and the terminal  
must match for correct data transfer through the serial port using RS-  
232 protocol. Scan the RS-232 interface bar code below. This  
programs the Development engine for an RS-232 interface at  
115,200 baud, parity-none, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and adds a suffix  
of a CR LF.

Operation  
Scanning a Bar Code  
1. Press and hold SW2 button on the PC board. LED D5 will light and a laser  
scanning line will be emitted.  
2. Align the laser line across a bar code.  
3. When the kit successfully reads the bar code the kit will beep once and LED  
D6 will flash once. The laser will turn off. To turn the LEDs on, release SW2  
button, the press and hold the button again.  
4. Results are displayed in EZConfig-Scanning Scan Data window.  
Scanning Broken or Scratched Bar Codes  
The N4300 Evaluation Kit has the ability to scan broken or scratched bar codes.  
Move the laser line up and down the bar code. When enabled, the N4300 Eval-  
uation Kit can also scan stacked DataBar codes in the same way.

Utilities  
EZConfig-Scanning Introduction  
EZConfig-Scanning provides a wide range of PC-based programming functions  
that can be performed on a engine connected to your PC's COM port. EZCon-  
fig-Scanning allows you to download upgrades to the engine's firmware, change  
programmed parameters, and create and print programming bar codes. Using  
EZConfig-Scanning, you can even save/open the programming parameters for  
a engine. This saved file can be e-mailed or, if required, you can create a single  
bar code that contains all the customized programming parameters and mail or  
fax that bar code to any location. Users in other locations can scan the bar  
code to load in the customized programming.  
To communicate with a engine, EZConfig-Scanning requires that the PC have at  
least one available serial communication port, or a serial port emulation using a  
physical USB port. If you are using the serial port and RS232 cable, an external  
power supply is required.  
EZConfig-Scanning Operations  
The EZConfig-Scanning software performs the following operations:  
Scan Data  
Scan Data allows you to scan bar codes and display the bar code data  
in a window. Scan Data lets you send serial commands to the engine  
and receive engine response that can be seen in the Scan Data win-  
dow. The data displayed in the Scan Data window can either be saved  
in a file or printed.  
Configure  
Configure displays the programming and configuration data of the  
engine. The engine's programming and configuration data is grouped  
into different categories. Each category is displayed as a tree item  
under the “Configure” tree node in the application explorer. When one  
of these tree nodes is clicked, the right-hand side is loaded with the  
parameters' form belonging to that particular category. The Configure  
tree option has all the programming and configuration parameters  
specified for a engine. You can set or modify these parameters as  
required. You can later write the modified settings to the engine, or  
save them to a dcf file.
